National Night Out

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness and to provide an opportunity to promote and celebrate police-community partnerships in crime prevention efforts.

From 6-9 p.m., residents in neighborhoods throughout Modesto and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors. Many neighborhoods throughout Modesto will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, ice cream socials, potlucks and games.
